The Arkansas Traveler: Music from Little House on the Prairie was released in November 2006, and is a CD of the eighteen songs woven into the classic children’s book by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Many of these songs are among the greatest in 19th-century American music. This recording is the focus of a one-hour Christmas special broadcast annually by National Public Radio.

To read the book and hear the music adds fresh, emotional depth to a familiar story. As Wilder herself wrote, "if you want the spirit of these times, you should [hear] these old songs."
